Chapter 850: Crying to the Emperor

At the Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo was drinking tea and listening to a song when he saw his second son coming back with a pale face. "What has happened to you?"

Ning Hui was already in poor health, and he pressed his forehead as he sat down. "Today, the Crown Prince and several other princes did not come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion. My son wanted to come back earlier, but Zhang Yang kept pulling me and talking in my ear, which gave my son a headache."

Duke Ning was not concerned about Zhang Yang, "You should go back and rest early too!"

Ning Hui thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Zhang Yang has been asking if you have found out about Zhang Jinghong's background. From the look on Zhang Yang's face, I can tell that he hates Zhang Jinghong."

"The revelation of Zhang Jinghong's background is actually a guarantee for Zhang Jinghong. Even if Zhang Yang hates him, he dare not show it openly."

Ning Hui, "My son is going to rest there."

"Um."

Ning Hui stood up and said, "Zhang Yang said he will go to the palace to see my younger sister tomorrow and come to see you later."

"I see."

At Zhou's residence, Zhulan called Changyi over. "The weather is getting cold. I froze the fish in the ice cellar. It won't go bad if I take it out at this temperature. I want you to go and arrange for someone to process the fish."

Chang Yi responded, "Mom, I'll be leaving soon."

Zhulan, "Don't be so anxious. There's no rush to sell the fish."

Chang Yi explained, "Mom, the sky is gloomy and I am afraid of snowing, so I want to leave first to avoid being delayed by heavy snow."

Zhulan thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Changyi hurried back to pack his luggage, "Mom, I'll go get ready."

"Okay, bring more people with you when you go out."

She remembered the last time someone plotted against Chang Yi, and fortunately Chang Yi reacted quickly.

Chang Yi's heart was beating fast, "Mom, I must be more careful."

"Um."

Zhulan waited for Changyi to go out, then stood up and walked around the yard twice, looking up at the sky. "It looks like it must be snowing heavily."

Mrs. Song said, "We couldn't keep the little snow that fell the night before yesterday, but we can keep it this time."

A gust of wind blew by, Zhulan shook her shoulders, turned around and went back to the house. It was still warm inside.

Zhulan said as she walked, "This year's snow came earlier than in previous years."

Mrs. Song, "Not a few in the morning."

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian lowered his head and heard the room suddenly become quiet. He raised his head and saw Zhang Yang standing at the door. He was dressed in the style of a prince, but Chang Lian felt that Zhang Yang did not have the aura of a prince. It was as if he had secretly worn the prince's clothes. It looked awkward no matter how he looked at it.

Lu Liang was the first to greet him. "Meet the Fifth Prince. We haven't seen him for a long time. We have been thinking about him. Please come in."

Chang Lian silently looked away. He had always known that Lu Liang was a snobbish person, and today it was fully revealed. He couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Yang felt extremely comfortable, and all the unhappiness he had in the Prince's Mansion disappeared. "Ah, Lu Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your eyesight has improved a lot."

As he spoke, Yu Guang looked at Zhou Changlian and was very satisfied with Lu Liang's flattery. In the past, Lu Liang had always been trying to curry favor with Zhou Changlian.

Lu Liang understood and his mouth twitched. After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhang Yang's ability has improved a lot. He even secretly mocked him, "After taking two doses of medicine, he is indeed much better."

Zhang Yang waited for everyone to greet him, trying to find fault with Zhou Changlian, but he found none. Zhou Changlian's greeting posture was particularly standard. He opened his mouth, but finally closed it, remembering the prince's warning.

Chang Lian was prepared to be picked on, but in the end he was let off. It was better to have less trouble than more, which was good.

Rong Chuan entered the room at this time, "I have met the fifth prince."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Cousin, I was thinking of visiting you later!"

Rong Chuan stood up and walked towards his third brother, saying as he walked, "Thank you for your concern, Fifth Prince."

But in my heart I was thinking, it was as if they both had birthdays on the same day, and it was still unknown who was older and who was younger!

Zhang Yang pursed his lips and looked at Rong Chuan standing beside Zhou Changlian with a caring look on his face. He felt upset in his heart. They were related by blood, but Rong Chuan was protecting Zhou Changlian.

Chang Lian felt warm in his heart and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.

Rong Chuan was relieved and turned around, "I went to the palace yesterday and heard that the palace officials had been selected for the fifth prince. It is said that there are many things to learn. The fifth prince did not study at home, so why did he come to the Hanlin Academy?"

Zhang Yang's expression froze. Damn the officials, four officials in one breath, they had arranged his daytime schedule completely. He had to go out today because he had to. He said dryly, "My cousin knows a lot."

Rongchuan said that he really knew a lot. These days, he went to the palace almost every day. The emperor sometimes asked him to play chess. The emperor liked to chat about family matters and talked to him a lot. He also repeatedly told him not to worry about Zhang Yang causing trouble.

His first reaction at that time was to wonder whether Zhang Yang was his biological son. Then he thought that it might be because of his face. He went home and told his father about it. His father comforted him and told him to do whatever he wanted. He was speechless for a long time. If it weren't for the character cultivated in the Zhou family, he would have been easily corrupted.

The room was somewhat quiet. Lu Liang's face turned pale. He felt that he was doomed. Rong Chuan was rude to the Fifth Prince and was clearly protecting Zhou Changlian. The Fifth Prince did not stand firm even when being confronted!

Zhang Yang felt the gazes on him and his expression changed. "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Chang Lian pulled Rong Chuan out, "You don't have to fight against the Fifth Prince for me. I can protect myself."

Rong Chuan smiled, "Let's not talk about Xue Han. You are also my third brother. You protected me in the past, and now it is my duty to protect you. Moreover, Xue Han repeatedly told me not to let you be bullied. Don't worry, third brother. My father and my grandfather have told me that if Zhang Yang bullies me, I will cry to the emperor."

Chang Lian, ".......Ah?"

What did Duke Ning and Marquis Ning teach Rongchuan?

Zhang Yang got on the carriage and slammed the table. The guard asked, "Your Highness, are you going back to the Prince's Palace?"

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "No, let's wait a while before going back."

In the academy, Mingyun and Liufeng were reading a book together. There were key points marked by Zhou Shuren in the book. When Zhou Shuren was at home, he would take out the book and point out the key points when he had nothing to do, and would also give examples to illustrate other situations.

Ever since Gu Liufeng got engaged, Mingyun shared her property with Gu Liufeng with the permission of her grandfather.

Although I am not happy that my friend has become my brother-in-law, but only if he is a good brother-in-law can my sister live a good life in the future.

The gentleman did not come in alone, but respectfully invited others in.

Mingyun looked up and saw Zhang Yang, whom he had met before. The current Fifth Prince was hooking his fingertips. As for why Yushuang got engaged so quickly, his grandfather told him that it was because he was the eldest grandson and his grandfather had high hopes for him. He knew everything that his father and second uncle didn't know.

Mingyun pulled Gu Liufeng and took a step forward to stand in front of Gu Liufeng. He had the confidence to do this. His grandfather had explained it in detail, and he remembered it all.

The teacher said, "Today, the Fifth Prince passed by the academy and came to see the A-class. The Fifth Prince was also a successful candidate in the imperial examination."
